Behind the art

“My Dad’s Detritus Granite Wall,’’ by Vermont-based artist Anthony Surratt, in the group show “Lineages: Artists Are Never Alone'', at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Manchester, Vt., opening Oct. 5.

The center says:

‘‘‘Lineages’ showcases the unique voices and individual talents of 11 contemporary artists and constructs a compelling collective exposition on the diverse webs of influences and personal experiences that drive artistic expression. Spanning a multiplicity of styles, media, and points of view, the exhibition and supporting programs delve deep into the artists’ creative processes to celebrate not just their exhibited work but the powerful, enduring, yet often unseen inspirational forces behind the art.’’
